A facility that operates during 450-minute shift per day produces a product whose manufacturing process consists of tasks A,..., J. Operation times for these tasks and data on predecessor tasks is provided in the table below. The precedence of tasks is also represented pictorially in the figure below. A Task A B C D E F G H Operation time Predecessor in minutes tasks 5 8 9 8 3 2 4 5 11 4 E NA N/A A,B с D E D G F,H J F a) (3 Points) What is the minimum possible cycle time for this process? b) (2 Points) What is the maximum cycle time for this process? c) (5 Points) What is the largest cycle time that will ensure a shift output of 16? d) (5 Points) What the number of workstations for the cycle time in part c)? e) (5 Points) Configure the line efficiently (i.e. using the fewest possible number of workstations) so that the shift output in part f) is ensured. B E G H Tasks assigned to Station 1 Tasks assigned to Station 3 f) (5 Points) What is the cycle time of the configuration in part e)? Tasks assigned to Station 2 Tasks assigned to Station 4 g) (5 Points) What is the efficiency of the configuration in part e)?
